📢EPIC26 Monday Keynote Announcement! | Hector Perez with Black & Veatch will present:

🔐 From Protecting Assets to Protecting Outcomes: Cyber Risk in the Age of Intelligent OT

As AI, advanced analytics, and intelligent operational technologies continue to transform the power industry, organizations face a critical question:
How do we embrace greater autonomy while maintaining trust, reliability, and security?

In this keynote, Hector Perez will explore how cybersecurity can serve as an enabler of innovation, not a barrier to it.

Hector will dive into:

• The growing role of AI and intelligent systems in operational technology (OT) environments
• Why confidence, not technology, is often the biggest obstacle to adoption
• How organizations can balance innovation with safety, reliability, and governance
• The concept of Return on Mitigation (RoM) and its connection to operational outcomes
• Strategies for managing cyber risk while enabling the future of intelligent operations

As utilities and industrial organizations continue their digital transformation journeys, this session will offer a practical perspective on building trust in the next generation of intelligent systems.
